At this banquet, Liu Yuan opened most of his heart to almost everyone present, and it was naturally not difficult to get the favor of Tong Yuan, Ma Chong and others. Sincerity has always been the best weapon to gain the favor of others. In addition, every word he says does not deviate from the righteousness and the people of the world, which makes them respect Liu Yuan very much.

For example, Cheng Zhongde, who barely spoke, originally stood from the perspective of an outsider and an observer, but later he couldn't help but put forward his opinions to Liu Yuan, but he had the feeling of taking on the role of Liu Yuan's subordinates.

Then again, in fact, great benevolence and righteousness are not important to the schools of thought - there are more people in the world who are benevolent and righteous. Benevolence and righteousness are naturally very effective when used to fool the common people, but for Tong Yuan and these people, it is not the most important.

Because troubled times are coming, these people are not simple characters, how can they see that the Han Zuo is about to decline?

In this troubled world, having the temperament and potential of being a superior is the most attractive place for them!

Perseverance, decisiveness, ruthlessness, and a black belly

With these conditions, you have the qualifications to become a hero and a hegemon.

But to be the master of the world, there is still a little short!

You must have the courage to have the world in mind, just like Liu Yuan said, dare to be the first in the world! What people can't, what people dare not do!

The banquet lasted until the end of the day, when it was successfully concluded. During this period, Liu Yuan appointed Lü Bu as the deputy commander of the Shanggu Army, leading an army alone, at the same level as Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others, and immediately set off to the surrendered city defense area to assist Xu Huang in waging war against the Northern Xiongnu; Xu Rong was appointed as the general of Fenwu, under the command of Yan Liang of the Liaoxi Army, and immediately went to Shiqin City to take office; Hua Xiong was appointed as the general of Fenwei and went to Liaodong to assist Zhang Fei. The rest of the people surnamed Cao, Hao Meng and others all have their own rewards, and their positions are not low.

What made Liu Yuan happiest was the contribution of Cheng Yu Manzhong and Han Wen.

At the end of the banquet, these three people stood up, worshiped Liu Yuan as the lord, assisted Liu Yuan, and took root in Youzhou.

In this regard, Liu Yuan can't be treated badly. let Cheng Yu be the governor of Youzhou Prefecture, and Cheng Yu was ranked under the frustration to assist the frustration in dealing with internal affairs and people's livelihood matters; Man Pet temporarily lived under Chen Qun, in charge of criminal punishment, legal system, public security and other matters (in terms of punishment, Tian Feng was originally led by Tian Feng, because Tian Feng was transferred to the commander of the Jizhou Army, Chen Qun temporarily took over, and after the Jizhou Army Commander had a successor, Tian Feng still returned to Yuyang to preside over the criminal law and order); As for Han Wen, this young man, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was thrown by Liu Yuan under his senior brother Zhao Yun, and let him exercise first, see the effect, and then make a decision.

Early the next morning, Liu Yuan, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi had an ambiguous breakfast, so he and Dian Wei took Tong Yuan, Wang Yue, Ma Chong, Mu Yuan and Li Xi out of the palace and went to Youzhou College.

Because of the elders' request, they did not take a carriage or horseback, but walked on foot, walking on the bustling streets of Yuyang City, pointing and discussing all the way.

"Looking at this population density, the total number of people in the entire city is probably no less than one million!" Ma Chong seems to always have a straight face, and when he is chatting, he is also very solemn: "The big city of millions of people, I haven't seen a single public security incident along the way, presumably Yuyang City is quite well governed!" ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "But that's the case." Now I, Yuyang Ling and Taishou Tian Kai, is indeed a rare internal affairs talent! ”

Liu Yuan and the others walked slowly, and from time to time there were ordinary people and traders who knew Liu Yuan, respectfully and sincerely saluted Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan didn't trust it too much, and returned the gifts one by one.

"The so-called food and clothing are enough to know the etiquette," Tong Yuan said with a smile: "You see, the people of Yuyang City are all red-faced, and they must have a good life. Look at the young generation again, all of them are strong and steady, and they are all good materials for being soldiers! ”

"Hehehe" Liu Yuan laughed and said: "The people are rich, the body is strong, the etiquette is known, and the knowledge is the goal that this king has been working hard for!" And now it's the beginning of the work, hehehehe,"

When Liu Yuan said this, he paused and said, "Actually, the public security incident in my Youzhou has been on the rise in recent years!" That is, Yuyang, with this king in charge, is peaceful, but in other places, it is much worse! ”

"Oh? Can the prince talk about it in detail? ”

Legalist Ma Chong said curiously. As a legalist, I am naturally most interested in the rule of law.

"It's nothing." Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Just because of the popularization of martial arts in the whole territory of this king, young people from all over the country have learned the art of martial arts, and they have grown blood surnames, and they are very competitive and ruthless, but it is a headache for this king!" ”

Liu Yuan didn't say anything about the creation of the guild, but actually wanted to hear the opinions of everyone around him.

"Oh?!" Ma Chong frowned and groaned.

It was Tong Yuan, who listened to Liu Yuan's words, but his eyes lit up.

"The art of martial arts has always been cherished and monopolized by the big families, but the prince's move is to break the old rules and create a new system!" Tong Yuan said: "In this way, the prince is helping the old man do something that the old man can never do!" ”

All schools of thought do not want to carry forward their own ideas and Taoism. It's not that no one thought about it before, but it was not implemented because of the imperial court's policy of ignoring the people. What Liu Yuan did now surprised them very much.

"The old man has heard that the Legalists have a saying," the farmer Mu Lao glanced at Ma Chong, who was contemplating, and said to Liu Yuan: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." If the art of martial arts and war is popularized throughout the territory, isn't the prince afraid that those lawless people will learn it and oppose the government? ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "This king has also considered this. But there are two sides to everything, and as long as it is well controlled, it can develop in a good direction. Besides, if this king is afraid of this and that, and he doesn't even have this bit of courage, how can he talk about winning the crown? ”

In fact, as early as the popularization of the Martial Arts Academy, Liu Yuan had planned carefully.

Although Youzhou popularized the art of war and martial arts, it also imposed restrictions. The martial arts taught by the martial arts academy are all veterans who have retired from the army, and the content taught is naturally the combat skills in the army. The combat skills popularized in the army are actually simplified by Liu Yuan according to the nameless combat skills in the inheritance, and they are divided into several levels. In other words, the combat skills taught by the general grassroots martial arts academy are only the first one or two layers of the simplified combat skills, that is, no matter how good a person's talent is, it is impossible to become a master of the world by only learning these two layers of combat skills.

In this way, on the one hand, it restricts the level of folk masters, and stimulates the blood surnames of the people and strengthens people's physique; Second, it also plays the role of a bait - if you want to continue to learn higher and deeper combat skills, you must join the army! potentially, it is cultivating new blood for the army.

As for the art of war, the degree of restriction should be a little stricter. The comprehensive and profound military strategy is a comprehensive art of war that cannot be learned in the martial arts academy of the university department of Youzhou University, and only by joining the army can you have the opportunity to learn the comprehensive art of war.

To put it bluntly, Liu Yuan's intention to popularize the grassroots martial arts academy is just to cultivate reserves for the army. Although those minor fights and brawls and other public security problems have some impact, they are only minutiae. He believed that as long as the guild system was introduced and the guild law was sound, these situations would be eliminated.

At this time, Ma Chong, the sect leader of the Legalist family, seemed to have thought clearly. This old man looked at Liu Yuan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Youzhou can reach the point where it is today, which is closely related to the strategic and far-reaching vision of Yuyang Wang. Regarding the question that the prince just raised, the old man believes that the prince must have a solution! It should be said that the prince should have made all preparations before implementing this policy! Hehehehehe, I don't know if the old man guessed wrong?! ”

Liu Yuan laughed: "Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy!" The horse is old and strong, and he admires it! However, Yuan wants to hear Ma Lao's views and countermeasures on this, can Ma Lao give advice? ”

The corners of Ma Chong's mouth flickered, and he pulled up a smile and said, "In response to this situation, the old man has three suggestions. ”

"Oh!? Please speak! Liu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he listened respectfully.

"The first and most direct way is to ban the Martial Arts. The martial arts academy is gone, and if the root cause is broken, it will not be able to turn over the waves. ”

"Second, punish them with severe torture! If there is a fight on the street and disturbs the peace, the person will be fined and imprisoned, or cut off his ear and nose! ”

Hearing these two items, not to mention Liu Yuan, Tong Yuan, Muyuan and other elders also shook their heads again and again.

"Third, nature is transfer and guidance!" Ma Chong looked at Liu Yuan and said with a smile: "Presumably Grandpa Wang is going to use this method!" Since the folk blood surname is vigorous and the young people have excess energy, it is better to use it for me! Or start a war, divert attention, consume blood surnames, or replace it with something else, in short, transfer and guide! ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The third article that Ma Lao said is exactly what I want. So Liu Yuan roughly said about the development of northern Xinjiang, the treasure hunt in the sea, and the creation of the mercenary guild: "This king thinks that all the power in the world can be used by me." As long as it is carefully guided, it can become a source of social progress! ”

"Old decay admiration!"

Everyone looked at Liu Yuan and admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

"But the guild system has never been seen before, after all, it is a new system. Something new is bound to have its flaws. The old man thought that the king of Yuyang should be taken seriously, and the legal supervision of the guild must be accurate and comprehensive! ”

After all, Ma Chong was born in a Legalist family, and he saw the shortcomings at a glance.

"That's what Ma Lao said." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Ma Lao is the sect master of the Legalist family, and for the study of the law, there is no one in the world who is better than Ma Lao. Therefore, this king wants to ask Ma Lao to help and give Chen Qun some tips, so that my Youzhou law will be more sound, and the mercenary bill and the newspaper supervision bill will be born earlier! ”

Then, Liu Yuan gave a rough account of the establishment of newspapers and periodicals.

"The prince's whimsy, I'm waiting for me to be impressed!"

Li Xi, the leader of the "newspaper" novelist, flickered his eyes, looked at Liu Yuan and said: "Lord, this newspaper"

"Hehehe, doesn't Sect Master Li think that this newspaper is just created for novelists?" Liu Yuan's face was full of provocative smiles: "It is the purpose of a novelist to collect folk news, publish it, and educate the world with the truth in it!" This newspaper of this king is under construction, but he can't find a suitable person to preside over it, alas! ”

"Uh, Lord Wang, how about my novelist to host?" Li Xi didn't know what Liu Yuan meant, and immediately said.

"Hahaha, what King Ben is waiting for is this sentence from Sect Master Li!" Liu Yuan laughed: "In this way, starting from tomorrow, the matter of preparing for the establishment of newspapers and periodicals, this king will hand over to Sect Master Li to do it, how about it?" ”

"Good, good!" Li Xixi is colorful.

"Alas, I said that the prince, the Legalist novelist has something to do, what about my farmer?" Kihara couldn't look at it from the sidelines, and hurriedly said.

"Hehehe, Mu Lao don't be anxious!" Liu Yuan looked at Mu Yuan's somewhat envious and anxious appearance, and said with a smile: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country. This king has always paid attention to the development of agriculture. For the optimization of cultivated land, sowing, harvesting, farming tools, water conservancy and seeds, etc., I have also made some achievements in Youzhou. But after all, the farmer is the ancestor of this way, so this king wants to establish an agricultural department in the college, and wants to invite Mu Lao to serve as the dean to study and teach the world to farm, I don't know what Mu Lao wants? ”

"Wow!" Kihara laughed.
